Environmental Cubic Box Project |
|---|
|
Cubic boxes are making their way across classrooms in Dubai as part of the civic body?s experiment for children to visualise the value of recycling. This initiative is the first type of its kind in the country and was designed at a pragmatic level that is expected to tackle the lack of interest in recycling, through promoting a point-based system. The first phase of the project will feature plastic cubic boxes, measuring 40x40 centimetres, which will be distributed among 20 classrooms in Bur Dubai by the end of November. The project will work on the principle of sustainable motivation and the cubes will be used to segregate paper and plastic. Once they are filled, each classroom will earn a cubic point that can then be translated into a value that children can understand, such as money The cubic project is part of Dubai Municipality?s ?My City, My Environment? campaign, where municipal officials announced that it intended to carry out the message of conservation and recycling via workshops into school classrooms, homes, parks, malls and streets. To further promote the campaign, Dubai Environmental Culture staffers are working on a cube-shaped symbol that will represent green efforts across Dubai and will be placed in key public areas as reminders that the environment is everyone?s responsibility.For example, a mega cube symbolising the amount of waste generated in a home that is lost to landfills if not recycled, is expected to be on display in parks and malls to reinforce the recycling message.Each cubic box is also a symbolic representation of green blocks used for sustainable buildings, and as the boxes get filled they will also become taller in height. The intrinsic value of recyclables will then be given back to the community through one of our projects, such as planting a tree. Source : Gulf News |

When the fruits of conservation trickle down to help society, people become more open to it. I'm glad to read that the value of the recycling goes back to help the society.
Thank you for sharing :)
